In my younger years, to get that golden glow, I would either be in a tanning bed or I would lay out in the sun for hours and hours slathered baby oil – oh how I regret that now! Yes, my skin shows the damage that I put upon it way back then when I was young and carefree. Back then, I was only thinking about how I wanted to be tan and did not think about my later years. Huge mistake! The damage is done, but now that I am older and I would like to think wiser, I steer clear of the sun by either staying in she shade or covering my body head to toe in sunscreen. But, I still want that golden tan, so now I use a self-tanner!

I have tried many, many self-tanners over the years and after lots of trials and many blotchy, streaky, smelly, and clothes ruined with brown tint, I have found the holy grail of self- tanners!

Why I love it:

This self-tanning mouse is odorless, light, airy and super long-lasting. It has a tint to it, so you can see it where you apply it (a huge must). It is not sticky after drying and it dries in a minute. Literally. I can get dressed immediately after applying. Read on to see why this self-tanner is so amazing!

What it is:

It’s a 2-3 week tan that is ultra hydrating tanning mousse for face and body with pHenO2 Technology for the longest lasting, natural-looking tan result with instant color and a tan that develops over 4-8 hours that lasts up to 2-3 weeks. This organic self tanner is suitable for use on the face and body.

What it’s formulated without:

Parabens

Harsh chemicals

Perfume / Fragrance

Alcohol

Animal derivatives

Petrochemicals

Sulphates

Silicones

Vita Liberata pHenomenal comes in fair, medium and dark. I use the dark and I apply it with a tanning mitt, which I highly recommend for a smooth and even application. This sel-tanner is more expensive than others, but it is worth it! A bottle will last you a long time, too. Don’t miss out out on trying this self-tanner – it’s truly the best!

Bonus Application tip:

Make sure to exfoliate prior to apply your self-tanner. This will remove any dead skin and will allow your self-tanner to go on more smoothly and evenly. I love the new Dove Exfoliating body Polish! It’s comes in 3 scents and it feels great, is moisturizing and it’s not too harsh for your skin.

Shopping for a Father’s Day gift can be challenging! If your husband is anything like mine he doesn’t need much to make him happy and when he does want something, he just buys it! Not to mention, he is pretty picky about anything and everything. This leaves me perplexed every year when it comes time to pick out a Father’s Day gift. Are you in same boat as me?

Give the gift of JORD Wood Watches this Father’s Day!

Well, this year the stress and pressure of finding the perfect gift was taken off my shoulders thanks to JORD Wood Watches! JORD Wood Watches contacted me to partner up with them for a Father’s Day post and I jumped at the opportunity! I had just recently started seeing these gorgeous wood watches on social media and they definitely caught my eye!

Now, my husband doesn’t usually go for fancy things, he is more of a get your hands dirty kind of guy. On weekends you will find him either fixing or building something. So, I wasn’t sure if it would be love-at-first-sight when he saw the JORD Wood Watches. He is rarely a love-at-first-sight kind of guy – things take time to grow on him.

To my surprise, when I showed him the JORD Wood Watches, he was immediately impressed! I guess you can call this a pre-Father’s Day gift as I wanted him to pick the one he really loved. He really liked the Dover Series and ultimately chose the Olive & Acacia design, which has the lighter wood and steel grey ring. This design could not be more perfect for him!

When the watch arrived, he was even more impressed. He marveled at the workmanship and has a great appreciation for the complexity and beauty of his new watch.

I am thrilled to be able to give him such a amazing watch for Father’s Day ~ thank you JORD Wood Watches!
